Rien ne va ! Mauvais séjour, logement à l'étage, rien n'allait ! L'annonce Abritel je stipulé pas qu'il y a 2 logements, 1 en bas avec jaccusi et un à l'étage ! 1 seule lampe de chevet par chambre, prise électrique défectueuse, grille-pain faisant disjoncter, impossible de manger à 4 dans la cuisine, cafetière pour 2, jaccusi infernal en bas lorsqu'il est en marche, pour nous qui étions à l'étage, c'était infernal. Barbecue inexistant... Quel dommage, le site est (par contre) exceptionnel. ##### Muriel B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karin U. 22 Jul 2023 Liked: Communication, location #### Prachtige omgeving Het appartement was op de 1e verdieping. De inrichting is verouderd, maar wel knus. De locatie, het uitzicht vanuit de woonkamer en de rust is fantastisch. De dichtstbijzijnde supermarkt is een half uur met de auto. Slecht internet ontvangst en ook regelmatig geen telefonisch bereik. Dat laatste kan ook een voordeel zijn. ##### Karin U.
